One of our great features of our treehouse is our 'Nature Shower'. Floor to roof clear glass in the shower that faces the beautiful blue gums & creek below & yes rest assure - it is out of view of anyone else :-)
The treehouse kicthen comes with a fridge/ freezer, new microwave (with some microwave dishes), new portable electric frypan, new plug in 2 burner stove top, new toaster and new kettle. There is also a rice cooker and coffee grinder and plunger.
We have also thrown in:
- inflatable canoe & sea kayak for hire

Woodbridge is authentic and a cute little village. The urban sprawl has not infiltrated our ranks so all the houses & properties are still of yesteryear. We do have the Peppermint bay resort in town - a bit flash!

The room is beautiful. The toilet and shower face a floor to ceiling open window, which we loved (overlooks a secluded forest). Ro is very friendly and hospitable. Great stay.

Matthew2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

A very picturesque area. Lovely views. Great welcome from Ro.

Patti2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Thanks Ro for sharing your little piece of paradise. The treehouse is such a quirky apartment and is worth staying for the amazing shower overlooking the trees alone! Such a beautiful view and located close to the Bruny Island ferry and to Peppermint Bay.

Geraldine2017-02-21T00:00:00Z

A delightful and cosy hideaway amongst the tree tops in such a beautiful part of the state, Woodbridge. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, comfy beds, a groovy nature shower and an accommodating host makes Ro's place a great choice for anyone travelling through the area.

Steve2017-06-17T00:00:00Z

Awesome place. Awesome people

Ben2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Ro is wonderful and this tree house really is just that -- a house in the trees! The views were spectacular and it was such a treat to have the space all to ourselves! The biggest perk is that it's just 6 minutes from the Bruny Island ferry which is why we booked it -- you can even see Bruny Island from the bed! Ro made check-in very easy and he personally welcomed us. Please keep in mind that there is nowhere to get food without driving a significant distance so come prepared. But if you do forget, he has some goodies you can purchase, which makes it super convenient. I loved the toilet and shower overlooking nature -- it's even cooler than it looks in the photos!

Sarah2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful place for some peace and quiet and relaxation. It was delightful waking up every morning looking out over the bush watching little wallabies hop along. There are some great foodie havens close by including Grandewe cheese and Peppermint Bay cafe. It makes a great place from which to explore Hobart. It is only about a 30 min car ride away.

The Fox Hole is a charming self contained studio style cottage in the heart of historic village, Woodbridge, in Southern Tasmania.

There is a separate bedroom and bathroom and a pull out sofa bed in the lounge accommodates 2 extra people if needed.
A small courtyard backs onto the garden and a fruit orchard shared by free roaming chooks. Pick some apples and mulberries in season or help yourself to a lime or lemon for your gin and tonic.
Gilbert makes stunning Huon Pine Picnic Planks on the premises and are available for purchase. I also sell them at the famous Salamanca Market on Saturdays.

Woodbridge is a pretty little village and great neighbourhood to stroll around to enjoy the rural aspects and the foreshore. Pop into the post office for all the local 'goings on' or down to Peppermint Bay for a coffee, lunch or afternoon drinks.

The Fox Hole was just the place my partner and I needed to recover from a long day exploring beautiful Bruny Island. Lizz was the perfect host, prompt to answer any questions we had and to give great advice for dining options. The breakfast provisions were delicious and the cottage a very warm retreat from the cold, wintery weather. Thanks Lizz! We will definitely be sending our friends your way!

Alex2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

Beautiful apartment in Woodbridge. Exactly like it was listed, very clean neat and Lizz even left amazing breakfast (eggs and bacons, the whole nine yards) for us. Incredibly pleasant stay. Would definitely do that again.

Lizzy and Gilbert are the most Beautiful couple I met in Tasmania! The place was very comfortable and felt like home. Breakfast was bonus and you must try lizzy's homemade muesli! Highly recommended and would definitely stay again!

We are one of the few Biodynamic Farms in the Channel Region with lovely water and rural views.
We grow our own fruit and veggies and have an assortment of chooks, birds, sheep and a pony. We also keep bees and have resident wallabies and bandicoots.
The studio is small and simple and located separately from the main house. It has tea and coffee making facilities, toaster, sandwich maker, microwave and fridge. The shared bathroom is located a short walk (20 meters) in the main house. We supply all bedding and towels.
On cooler nights there is wood fire which keeps the Studio cosy and warm. An eclectic book collection awaits.
Chrissie also runs a small pop up cafe called About Thyme (See our (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Page About Thyme Cafe & Wild Thyme Catering and Event Management).
We can provide a delicious continental or cooked breakfast to the studio on request (additional charge applies) however we require a minimum of 24hrs notice. We use ingredients produced at Maktub farm or locally sources certified organic produce wherever possible. We can cater for most dietary requirements.
The Studio offers an ideal base for those wanting to explore the Channel and Huon Regions or make a day trip across to Bruny Island.
Cygnet, home of the renowned annual Cygnet Folk Festival in January is just over the Hill. On your way you can call into Hartzview Vineyard & Café. Up the road towards Hobart is Kettering where you can share a glass of wine of meal out on the deck overlooking the marina at the Oyster Cove Inn or Mermaid Café. Visit Giovani Zito, renowned chocolatier at Nutpatch or catch the ferry from Kettering to Bruny Island and enjoy a day on a secluded beach, visit Bruny Island Cheese, Get Shucked Oyster Farm, or explore the Bruny Island coast with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys and see whales, dolphins, sea birds and seals.
A short drive south is Pepperberry Farm Cafe at Birches Bay, Grandvewe Farm & Cheesery and Peppermint Bay in Woodbridge.

Woodbridge is a peaceful and safe village with plenty of things to do and see. Go for an evening stroll along the old goat track and enjoy a glass of wine at Peppermint Bay.

Very nice cosy place. Michael and Chrissie were very welcoming and gave helpful advise. Really enjoyed my time at their place.

Melanie2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely nights stay at maktub the night before heading to Bruny Island. Chrissie was a lovely host, even after we almost burnt down the house cooking dinner on the BBQ. We were also there at the perfect time to have some berries fresh from the garden for breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay.

James2015-12-15T00:00:00Z

It is a different experience to stay on the farm! Studio is tiny but an annex is being built which will make a huge difference. The host is very friendly and welcoming! So close to Hobart but feels remote and rural.

Chris and Sue welcome you to Kettering Vistas, nestled in the beautiful and peaceful Kettering hills, with views to Bruny Island, Mt Wellington and North West Bay. Your modern, private and cosy cottage is the perfect location to simply chill with the wildlife and as a base to enjoy the views, food, wine and cider producers, attractions and rich history of the Bruny Island, D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Huon Valley. The Bruny Island ferry terminal is a quick drive down to the Kettering Marina.

You will find a very modern and well equipped cottage with full kitchen facilities and separate laundry. The cottage is very cosy, with double-glazed doors and windows, full insulation, air conditioning, an electric blanket and extra bedding.

The Channel and Bruny Island region is chock full of things to do, see, eat and drink.
Around Kettering, we have both the Steam House and Mermaid Cafes, Pashas Indian Restaurant, the Peppermint Bay Restaurant in Woodbridge and of course the famous Nutpatch Chocolatier. For a local fine dining experience, we recommend Howden Villa in Howden, near Margate (15 minutes drive).
Our Bruny Island favourites include Bruny Island Cheeses, Get Shucked Oysters, Bruny Island Premium Wines (ie. dining, tastings, sales), the South Bruny Lighthouse, the House of Whiskey and of course the Bruny Island Cruises run by Pennicott Adventures, which is a must do.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this little luxury hideaway in the hills. We picked this spot because it's so close to the Bruny Island ferry, but were completely blown away by the view and by Chris & Sue's generosity. They've thought of literally everything to make their cottage retreat comfortable. The bed is great, the kitchen is well provisioned, and the ability to do a load of washing and take a hot shower in a lovely big bathroom was just wonderful after a few weeks of walking. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. A great location to explore the south & Bruny Is, and wonderful hosts who really have thought of everything. Thanks Chris & Sue!

Chirs and Sue have a very lovely place, with a wonderful view. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area

Mark2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Amazing!

Brooke2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Chris was an amazing host and his private studio/cabin was modern, beautiful and very clean. Would highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

Kara2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Brand new villa, very comfortably appointed and awesome location. Chris and Sue are fantastic hosts, very prompt to respond, considerate and friendly. The villa has been well designed, together with the decor, furniture and appliances chosen, made it a very comfortable and welcoming stay for my family. It is in a very peaceful bush setting overlooking the Channel, quite stunning views and only a couple of minutes drive to Bruny Island ferry terminal and shops. The complimentary chocolates and breakfast were delicious and appreciated. Highly recommended, you'll be hard pressed to find better hosts and accommodation in the area!

Sandy2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

I find it very hard to fault anything about our stay at Chris's cottage. Chris's communication was excellent, the cottage and surrounding locations were beautiful, and the kitchen/house was very well equipped. Chris went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable, including giving plenty of local knowledge on where to visit and putting on the heater in the evenings before we arrived :) The ferry terminal to Bruny Island was a 6 min drive away as a bonus.

Julie2015-03-25T00:00:00Z

Amazing view, great place to relax and kick up your heals in front of a roaring fire. Some might be put off by the drop toilet but if you have an open mind it won't be an issue. A great place to stay and explore the surroundings with a handy minbar in case you forget the wine.

Dwight 2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

Beautiful view. Smooth check in Freshly baked bread in the bread machine was heaven. Only slight minor downside was the smell of the Eco friendly toilet

We had a lovely stay at Melissa's Eco strawbale house. The ambience was calm and relaxing, everything was at our fingertips , great to have coffee maker though the local coffee shops may have missed out on sales, great idea to provide breakfast ingredients for us to make own when suits us. Enjoyed the bath . Thanks Melissa for your special retreat.

The house is a spacious architect-designed one-bedroom studio: great for couples enjoying a weekend away or solo adventurers looking to explore the area. Watch the sunrise over Bruny Island, chill out on the deck in the afternoon sun, then finish the day with a hot outdoor shower under the stars (indoor shower also available). Located in Flowerpot, my place sits between a heritage apple orchard and an organic vineyard, 40 mins from Hobart.

The open plan living includes a TV, DVD, stereo and record player complete with quality vinyl. Wi-fi is available throughout, with an i-Mac on the desk if you need. The fully equipped kitchen has a cooktop and oven, microwave, fridge and freezer. There's a washing machine, iron and board to make sure you're looking sharp. A heat pump ensures you can always be toasty warm inside. The house is passive thermal designed and features polished concrete floors and a recycled brick wall. There's a large undercover patio with BBQ and timber deck.

Flowerpot is full of friendly locals and nice neighbours. Heading north:

Grandvewe Sheeps Cheesery is 3 mins drive away - also home to Hartshorn Distillery that recently won the best vodka IN AUSTRALIA!
Peppermint Bay is 5 mins drive, serving food and drinks from 9am.
Kettering is 10 mins by car and is where you catch the ferry to Bruny Island. Kettering also has Mermaid Cafe (open daily) and Pashas restaurant (open 6 nights a week).
Kingston is 25 mins away and where you will find the nearest supermarket - both Woolies and Coles.
Heading south:
The local Middleton Shop (3 mins drive) has all your essentials covered, including a selection of Tassie wine.
Further along the coast are the beaches Verona Sands and Randalls Bay. Keep on driving and you'll get to Cygnet and the Huon Valley (also accessible via Woodbridge)

A lovely serenity for a getaway trip. I live locally, however wanted a retreat somewhere for myself for a few days and it totally lived up to my expectations. I enjoyed being close to nature both with the view from the house and also walking around the property. Tasmania at it's best.

Lisbeth2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

Andrew's cottage was very warm and comfortable. Beautiful views from every window, and it felt very private and cosy. It had everything you could want in a small space. Loved sitting on the deck in the sunshine, and the open air shower! Thanks, Andrew, for sharing your cottage so generously. Great place for a retreat!

Rhonda2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Lovely spot for a weekend away. Amazing waking up looking through the trees at the ocean. Hope to be back in this amazing part of the world again soon. Would highly recommend

Samuel2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home with amazing scenery. The history behind the house is very interesting and made our experience that much better. Waking up to views of the forest and walking out to the porch to see the ocean was breath taking.

Delightful two story cottage on a little farm, not far from everything. The hosts had the place spotless and beautifully presented with little notes to us and chocolates on the pillows. They have gone above and beyond making it warm (wall heaters upstairs and down + a little timber stove) and cosy. Our only down side was the rain water tank pump was broken over the 4 nights we stayed, which made it go off briefly every 20 seconds, night and day! We were forced to turn all the water off outside every evening before bed to enable sleep. We would recommend it to anyone (except those that can't go up small spiral stairs) as it's just so lovely, quite & inviting.

Cathy-lee2016-04-26T00:00:00Z

Ok where to start...the communication was spot on! Answered all my questions and offered additional helpful information. I arrived at the cottage, it was immaculate, just as the pictures and description..absolutely gorgeous. Fresh eggs from their chickens and a basket of goodies on arrival, so lovely. I was planning on staying in the city although so glad I didn't. If u are after a peaceful stay, wether it a on ur own or with a partner..this is the place to stay..I cannot recommend it enough and I manage (URL HIDDEN) I kind of know where the bar is set..

Gabriella2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

The only place to stay when visiting South Tassie. Perfect location. Close to Hobart, scenic towns with fresh produce, and many bush walks/hikes - which made our visit bliss. The cottage has everything you need to relax, from locally made chocolates on the pillow, lots of heating and a perfect long bath to stretch your legs in for a good soak. Particularly liked reading and watching DVDs that was on the shelves set specifically in Tassie. Amazing service for things we needed. We felt very cosy and welcome. Cannot wait to plan our next trip here!

Had a very warm welcome and a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. Tony & Liz go out of their way to ensure your needs are accommodated for. Best Air B&B we have stayed in, give it 10 out of 10. Will come back soon!

We stayed here while house hunting in the area, and the cottage was a perfect base - snug and comfortable, with a fantastic bath. We loved the thoughtful touches from Tony and Liz - a welcome message, beautiful roses in the rooms, warm comfy robes and excellent fresh breakfast provisions. Highly recommended!

Kym2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

Tony was fantastic in guiding us to plan our trip. The location of the cottage is ideal if u r planning for Bruny Island cruise. ( only 5min from the pick up point). It was a lovely place to stay with a beautifully decorated cottage with all comforts

Thanks to Diane and Steve for an enjoyable, but sadly too short, stay in your cosy cabin. Wood heater came in very handy on the first night! Really appreciated the breakfasts, fresh local produce and local condiments were a nice touch. Great location, very pretty and quiet, but easy drive to Kettering and ferry. Enjoyed the local market too! Diane and Steve very friendly but not intrusive and Pippi (the dog) was very friendly too. Our first AirBnB experience, would definitely return!! Cheers, The Angus family.

Claire2016-11-11T00:00:00Z

The Cabin is fabulous - super clean, lovely fire and cute touches that really make it a warm and personal experience. A great base to explore Bruny Island - then enjoy a lovely evening at the cabin. Diane and Steve were fantastic hosts, in fact the best I've had on airbnb. The breakfasts were delicious and thoughtful - thank you!!!!!

Great house, clean, comfortable and what a view! Would be perfect to buy a load of groceries and just chill out for a few days. Lots of places to see and things to do within easy driving distance, but not walking distance. Received very clear directions from Belinda. Loved the soft furnishings, beds very comfortable. We were a family of 5 and had plenty of room to spread out. Very little traffic noise; loved listening to the birds.

Jane2016-01-21T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Belinda's house was quiet and peaceful with spectacular tree top views. The house is fully equipped with a fabulous fire place. The driveway is a challenge, take it slowly.

Beautiful place to stay after a day on Bruny Island. Fire all set up for us and great to have a spot to cook after a few days in a hotel. Sonia and Damien were very welcoming and even had some of Damien's delicious smoked salmon! Would definitely stay again and would recommend for others.

Jeanavive2015-04-27T00:00:00Z

Sonia and Damien are an amazing, caring and friendly people. When we got there, the fire was on and Sonia and Damien came a bit later to say hi and brought some smoked salmon for us to try as they knew Dion is a chef. The cottage is very cozy and it felt like home, we didn't want to leave. The location is perfect, over looking mountains and very close to Bruny Island which gave us the chance to explore it without staying there and only 35 min from Hobart.

Such a beautiful place! We enjoyed our stay very much and couldn't ask for more. Very friendly and caring host. The apartment has stunning views, a comfortable bed, a well equipped kitchen and a great movie selection. Thank you for having us! Very happy, wish we could have stayed longer.

This was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed it. The cottage is spacious and cosy with a log fire to keep you warm at nights and fantastic views of the Tasmanian countryside. Sonia was a very friendly and welcoming host and provided fresh clean towels, linen and coffee! We highly recommend this as a place to stay - nice and close to Hobart but has a really relaxed feel of nature to it with plenty of wildlife on the doorstep. Thanks very much.

Dan2015-04-07T00:00:00Z

The Firetail Bush Retreat was the perfect tasmanian getaway. It was cosy and romantic. Sonia and Damien were the perfect hosts ensuring we were well looked after and left to our own also. Would highly recommend to anyone :)

The Wine Loft is up a flight of external stairs and can accommodate 6 people in two bedrooms (4 in one and 2 in the other). We offer breakfast provisions at $15 per person and you would cook your own breakfast in the kitchen in the Wine Loft.

We are a vineyard in a 12-acre rural setting. We offer generous breakfast provisions at an additional $15 per person and you would cook your own breakfast at leisure in your own accommodation. We have two cottages, both of which are free-standing, private, peaceful, spacious, sunny and warm. Both have lovely rural and sea views looking across to Bruny Island. Both also have a wood fire and you will arrive to a cosy and warm cottage with the fire already lit on a chilly day.
The Wine Loft, at the bottom of the property, is up an external flight of sandstone stairs and has a large and sunny kitchen/living room area. There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds, while the main bedroom also has a single bed. A further single bed can be set up in the main bedroom and the cottage can therefore accommodate a maximum of six people. There are rural and/or sea-views from all the windows. There is a deck, where you can sit and enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine.
The tariff is per couple sharing per night on a self-catering basis. There is an a $45 cost per each additional person. As mentioned, for an additional cost, we will supply generous breakfast provisions, which includes a loaf of our fresh home-made bread. You can enjoy one of our bottles of wine ($25 for the Pinot Noir and $20 for the Muller Thurgau) in front of the log fire or out on the deck. We also supply a range of reasonably-priced dinner and breakfast provisions and snacks for you to cook up a storm, if you feel like eating at home.

There are a number of good restaurants in the area. The Oyster Cove Inn is a couple of kilometres away and is a popular place to have a drink and a meal while enjoying views of the yachts Kettering marina. Another very popular restaurant is Peppermint Bay in Woodbridge (about 7kms away) which has stunning water views and excellent food. Phuongs Vietnamese restaurant between Snug and Margate is excellent value for money.
The Mermaid Cafe is a good place to have a meal and coffee, while you wait to catch the ferry to Bruny Island.
A little further south, you will find Grandvewe Cheesery, which makes cheese from sheep's milk (and a whiskey from sheep's whey). A couple of kms beyond them, you can enjoy a cup of coffee/glass of wine/lunch the lovely Pepperberries cafe.

It was a really nice weekend! The host Helen was amazing gave us lots of feedback of the area. The accomodation couldn't be better. Very welcoming and warm.

Moises2016-07-12T00:00:00Z

Beautiful spot, lovely views, great place. Look carefully for animals bouncing about between the trees!

Mark2017-01-12T00:00:00Z

I warmly recommend this place to couples and families alike. Peace, serenity and non-pretentious style, attention to detail, warm and welcoming atmosphere, nature's abundant beauty all around. Absolute perfection all the way. Our crew couldn't have been happier with our experience. Thank you Helen & co!

Hanna2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Heron's rise is a perfect getaway spot for visiting south of Hobart. Helen is very nice, attentive and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend staying at Herons Rise Vineyard if you are looking to stay the night in the area.

Jas2016-04-10T00:00:00Z

Wonderful experience staying at Heron's Rise! The cottage and surrounding views were gorgeous and we were made to feel very welcome. Highly recommend!

Sarah2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Stunning cottage on a vineyard - just what we were after! Loved having a fire, walking around the vineyard with bunnies hopping around outside the cottage. Close to Bruny Island ferry, lovely little Kettering and Peppermint Bay restaurant. Thank you Helen, Miriam & Richard for a fabulous stay.

Sandie2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

Amazing house and very thoughtful host! Highly recommended.

Han2016-11-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely location, looking over the vineyards. Comfortable and cosy. There's even a wood-stove heater which we used. Helen was very friendly and helpful. There's a minibar with wine and a basket of canned food you can purchase in case you forget to shop in Hobart. Would also be fantastic to stay if you were planning a day trip on Briny Island as it is minutes from the ferry.

The house was even better than we expected. Lovely location, immaculately clean and comfortable. We could not have asked for a nicer home away from home. Thank you Marcus for making everything so perfect with our stay in Tasmania. The house and gardens were unique and charming. There was so much to see and do in the area but we also enjoyed relaxing in the garden and warm sunshine.

ANDREW2016-01-08T00:00:00Z

The house was spacious and peaceful. Linen, kitchen items and furniture were of high quality. Touches like the fresh flowers were well appreciated. And the wood fire made it very cosy at night. The location is perfect for taking the Bruny Island ferry across for the day. The grounds were wonderfully maintained and sitting on the verandah in the summer sun was a real treat.

Kevin2016-01-29T00:00:00Z

We cannot recommend this property highly enough. The property is beautiful, warm (when 5C outside!) and very well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Despite being the middle of winter the gardens were delightful and very relaxing, the house cosy and warm. The morning sun on the front veranda was the perfect start to the day. Thanks Marcus for your attention to detail.

Kirsten2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

Thank you for a lovely stay at your place! The first time we walked into your home we were just in awe of how cosy, bright, spacious and clean it is and how homely it made us feel! I love plants and trees and so your spacious and stunning garden added an unexpected bonus!! Thank you for the beautiful fresh flowers that you've placed throughout the house, they definitely lit up each of the rooms! We love your place! Thank you!!!!

We loved the location and serenity of Marcus' property. lovely garden such a warm and cosy Lounge when fire was lit. So close for access to Bruny Island, Peppermint Bay and Grandvewe Cheese. Perfect for family stays.
